hi,
i wanted to suggest a feature that exist on car stereos and is usually called att i think.

by pressing a single button the volume goes down by a few notches and allows you a fast volume down. repressing the button again brings back the old volume.

they is useful for a lot of reasons, for example fast volume decrease when answering the phone and not wanting to mute, watching a video at night and making it quiet in loud parts etc.

thanks

you tried volume lately with analog stick ? takes ~1 sec to go from full to mute

not lately no but it's still slower than one press, and not all of us use the stick.

quick volume decrease would be very easy to add with a small change to keymap.xml (seems like a waste of a valuable button to me though )

for example (not checked/tested this so it might not be syntactically perfect - you get the idea though).

<white>xbmc.setvolume(30)</white>

where 30 is the percentage you want to set it too.

guess you're stuck with using the stick to go back up though (unless you want to map another button to go another specific volume).

hope this helps.

not lately no but it's still slower than one press, and not all of us use the stick.

btw, kinda intrigued - what do you use to adjust the volume??

well i use a universal remote so it's not a problem but i guess a lot of people use the tv remote + xbox remote combo.

about your proposition, nice idea, too bad i have to waste 2 buttons.
